A lot of hate directed toward Trimble is pure unadulterated jealousy. The girl did latin from a young age, and classics too. It's a matter of fact that UC is based around classics - thus she has an advantage. It's not a bad thing she's smart and knows the answers.

However, I hold a lot more envy toward the Manchester team. They held their own against Trimble (I'm not even going to say Corpus Christi, cos she clearly led the win), and only failed once they'd initially faltered.

Great final, though. Trimble held her own (well she had to, her team relied on her too much) by the end, when she saw impending doom, and Manchester worked amazingly to even have a chance.
